FAQ
HackRU is a 24-hour hackathon at Rutgers University. We welcome hundreds of students to join us in building awesome software and hardware projects. Industry experts and mentors come from all over the country to create an environment that fosters an atmosphere of learning through teck talks and one-on-one guidance. We encourage beginner and advanced hackers alike to challenge themselves and expand their skills.

We will be accepting anywhere between 300-500 hackers based on when you register for the event. After you register, you'll get a notification 1-2 weeks before the hackathon whether we have accepted you or not to the hackathon. You will then have to let us know if you plan on coming or not and then you're all set!

Yes! We'll release more information about prizes as the event draws near.

No, HackRU will not have a mask mandate but it is encouraged throughout the duration of the event.

HackRU welcomes undergraduate and graduate students of all majors, backgrounds, and skill level to come create. Additionally, high school students who will be 18 by HackRU are allowed to register. Unfortunately, if you are under 18, you will not be able to attend.

That's great! We'd love to have you at HackRU. Throughout the weekend, there will be workshops to get your feet wet, project ideas for you to try out, and mentors to guide you through the process.

Like the best things in life, HackRU is completely free to attend!

Hackers can(and are encouraged to) work in teams of up to 4 humans max. The knowledge you gain from teammates is invaluable, along with the opportunity to build lifetime friendships - you might leave with a new best friend! We will be having a team-building exercise after opening ceremonies for people who are looking for teammates.

Reach out to us at info@hackru.org! We'll be happy to answer.
